YoLinux Tutorial: Using Open LDAP (V1.2) - examples:

There have been two versions of Open LDAP (Version 1.x and 2.x) and the two
are configured differently. This tutorial covers the configuration of
OpenLDAP Version 1.2.
Red Hat 6.x distributions shipped with OpenLDAP 1.x while Red Hat Linux version
7.x an 8.0 have shipped with OpenLDAP 2.x. This tutorial covers the older
OpenLDAP 1.2. For a tutorial coverning the newer OpenLDAP 2.x.
See:

The scenario in this tutorial utilizes two LDAP organizations or domains,
each with its' own database
and administrator. This example will also show how to assign granular
administrative security to a group administrator within a database.
This will be a group administrator within a subset of one of the database
schemas as defined by a search filer.

Second edition. It is general in nature but complete
in that it covers all concepts in depth.
It is a good book for those wanting to understand everything
about LDAP, schema development and its' capabilities.

First edition out of print. (Used only) See second
edition above. This is the largest LDAP book I own. It is general in
nature but complete in that it covers all concepts in depth. It is NOT
a good programmers reference but it is good for those wanting to
understand everything about LDAP, schema development and its'
capabilities. Netscape centric.

Excellent programmers reference for those using the LDAP C language API.
Also covers search filters and LDAP URL's.
The OpenLDAP source code is so poorly commented that I found this book
often was the only source for an explanation of what was happening in the
code.

This book covers all aspects of LDAP from LDIF to the LDAP SDK
in C, PERL and JAVA. It has a strong Netscape Directory server bias.
